Question:

Waxing Engineered Wood Floor?

Is Ok to wax engineered wood floor?

Answer:

If the floor has a urethane coating, do not apply wax treatments or paste wax; this could result in an unsafe floor.

There is no need and the results would be gummy and streaky. Prefinished hardwoods have multiple coats of polyurethene to protect them and create the sheen. A good hardwood cleaner, water and a mop will do along with daily dusting with a swiffer.
NO! Engineered wood floors are 99% of the time, prefinished with the urethane already applied at the factory. I have seen where people have tried to wax them....and it has been a mess that is quite pricey to fix. The beauty of prefinished engineered floors, is that you don't have to maintain them the way you used to....by waxing. If they need additional cleaning...Bruce makes a wonderful cleaner that can be purchased at Home Depot. Bruce hardwood cleaner....in a green bottle....just squirt cleaner on floor, and use dust mop that comes with cleaner.
